Anyone have start dates for other cities it would be interesting to see.

About the NA/PA flights in December 1958: it seems the 707s weren't just turned over to National -- they continued to fly for PA too. A 707 that arrived Idlewild in the morning from Europe could do an afternoon flight to Miami.

Houston Hobby was first served by BN 707's to Dallas love Field on April 7th 1960, Delta operated the first ever Convair 880 passenger flight carrying paid passengers from Hobby on May 15, 1960 to New Yorks Idlewild

The first scheduled jet flights at SAN Lindbergh Field were in 1960, with American Airlines flying to Phoenix and United Airlines to San Francisco, using the Boeing 720 Both started service on May 9,1960 but AA took off first.

Oakland's 10000-ft runway opened in 1962 and I think TWA started a 707 almost immediately, but it didn't last too long and OAK may have been jetless for a little while around 1964. Any other airports started jets and couldn't keep them? (Not counting unfriendly airports like TVL.)
